      I agree! My derm is pretty good but I always feel like she doesn’t truly listen to my concerns or answer my questions as detailed as I’d like. I definitely feel rushed every time I go except for when this “red puffy hand” syndrome showed up and then she was all in. Literally felt like only bc it’s something she hasn’t seen often. It’s a shame we can get more info and have more questions answered for free on TH-cam when we pay our docs so much! Thanks for all you two do for us!

      @@charlescoffey695 Unfortunately, lazy ones. My last experience, the derm wouldn't even see me. She sent out an assistant who just wrote me a prescription and tried to sell me overpriced sunscreen. When I tried to explain my history with tretinoin, she just crossed it off the script and wrote in adapalene. Didn't bother asking any questions. Could not be bothered. I left the office and they had the nerve to ask me for a review the day after. 4 bad experiences with 4 different derms and I'm about ready to stop trying.

If a derm told me my painful cystic acne was better handled with a specialist, I'd be on my way..... but not a single one has attempted to find out. My experiences have just been not so great.

      I've had microneedlign and chemical peels done in a derm's office. They're fantastic procedures, but you MUST go in clinic to have them done and make sure you go to someone who is licensed. If you have someone do these procedures and they're not done in a sterile environment or with someone who knows what they're doing, you could cause a lot of scarring and damage to the skin. But both procedures did wonders for my acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. Just never ever ever do them at home, especially the microneedling. You can do some chem peels like The Ordinary's AHA/BHA peel, but you need to be very careful about that because you can cause damage. An esthetician will be able to do more intense peels though, which is why I'd recommend going to a professional rather than doing them at home.

    Skinceuticals vitamin C: $160. Easily broken down but the vitamin E helps to stabilize the vitamin C. Founded by a dermatologist but L’Oréal bought them out. Vitamin c for collagen synthesis, helps with hyperpigmentation. Some don’t tolerate this very well, some do. More sensitive skin doesn’t like it. New product slyamrin CF or something like that for sensitive skin.
    Maelove skin glow is a good dupe.
    Paula’s choice ce ferulic acid
    Drmtlgy ce ferulic
    Drunk elephant vitamin c product
    Products do perform pretty similarly. Similar to retinoids in terms of what they do. If only can afford one, pick the retinoid put your money there. It’s great if you can use both but irritation can make it so we can’t use both.
    Retinoids- older studies show tretinoin is much better but new study came out saying comparable efficacy. Prescription Rx is a good idea esp with insurance.
    Skin better science - AlphaRet- retinol + lactic acid
    Arazlo
    Alterno- hylauronic acid easier to tolerate
    Arazlo
    Trifarotene less irritating
    Many studies done for acne and not hyperpigmentation or wrinkles.
    Retin-A first one for anti-aging and acne and has the most research. Go to for a lot of people can be tretinoin.
    If over the counter try alpharet.
    Hyperpigmentation: gold standard is hydroquinone. Use for short period of time lower strengths with a dermatologist so don’t get permanent exogenous ochronosis. Tri-luma great for this. Best to see dermatologist for this.
    Skinceuticals discoloration defense is great over the counter. Melasma or freckles.
    Faded topicals- could be irritating but very effective and only $36
    Cyspera- good for melasma
    Always wear spf with whatever you use, protect your investment.
    Procedures are worth your money. Lasers, microneedling, light therapy, they are a focused treatment for these same things and get great results. When you start using over $200 skincare consider treatments.

      It takes time to chip away at hyperpigmentation associated with sun exposure and hormonal changes. You cannot use a chemical peel to fix this issue because it temporarily fixes the problem. However if you use microdermabrasion or some other type of exfoliant that would be the better route. Peels can activate the cells that produce melanin and make your patches worse. My tip would be to always use a sunscreen of at least spf 50-60. The same applies to your acne scars. Hope that helps.

      Not original commentor but I hope this helps someone since I'm the same:
      Step 1: Drink more water. Dehydration raises oil production
      Step 2: Wash face no more than 2 times a day and avoid any type of scrub or stuff with SLS. Skin damage raises oil production.
      Step 3: Moisturize in the morning and night. Good moisturizers are hard to find. I find lotions to work better than creams on my face. Gotta lock in the moisture to reduce dehydration.
      Step 4: Since sebum production would have reduced in a few days, retinol will finally be more effective, so use a serum after face wash and before moisturizer.
      Step 5: Do not scratch or touch your face. Let your skin heal :)
      I still get oily occasionally but its only when I'm dehydrated. Acne is practically gone.

It's insane. And I wait MONTHS for these appointments. I've tried some of the products and they are just to harsh for my skin. I've even told them I'm good with whatever proceedure they think might be necessary. But if you aren't getting Botox and fillers they don't have time for you. (I'm in Calgary.)

I may go back for a few more treatments during the winter to treat some of the deeper pigmentation but as you said, and my doctor emphasized, I must wear SUNBLOCK religiously from now on or I will undo all the good results. I wish I had known this earlier in my life so my issue could have been avoided.

It is very much an industry you have to evolve in, keep up with your education and most of all take care of the patients wellbeing.

    Thank you for providing such rich information in a humorous way. I have been a skin care fanatic since Clinique first came out with their men’s skincare line in the late 70s. At 64, my skin tone and texture is great with very few wrinkles. You mentioned in another videos that one of the side effects of Botox and fillers is fewer wrinkles. I used both in my 30s and 40s. I also appreciate the low price point high quality brand you share. I love inkey, The Ordinary and Naturium.

    I tried the drunk elephant c firma and noticed minimal improvements to my skin. I am currently on my second bottle of the youth to the people vitamin c + caffeine and I love it. I noticed improvements in my hyperpigmentation almost immediately (about a week of use) and I prefer the texture so much more than the drunk elephant serum. I found DE was quite a tacky texture, and didn’t really absorb fully into my skin and just sat on top. YTTP is way better in texture though still a bit sticky, and absorbs within a couple of minutes. Highly recommend to anybody !

    Thanks for the great video--and especially the link to the double-blind clinical study. I always appreciate those! As a dermatology patient and skincare consumer, I'd like to second the recommendation of investing in visiting an actual board-certified dermatologist. (And if you have a darker skin tone, find one who specializes in darker skin tones.) I used to spend hundreds of dollars on hyped-up skincare products and none of them gave me the kind of results I got after 3 months of visiting a great dermatologist (and spending less than $100 thanks to insurance and coupons). A dermatologist will create a routine that is specific to your skin, your life, and your budget, and not something generic enough to sell to millions. I will say though that I'm finding Aklief more irritating than Retin-A Micro, but that could just be me! Or the fact that it's winter and I'm still in my first month of Aklief! Thanks again!

The airtight, opaque packaging, and the $25 price tag, and the fact that it’s going on three months of use without oxidizing makes it a good value. The ph is at the appropriate level. I have put together a great routine of inexpensive products. My tretinoin is 10 dollars a tube. I My sunscreen is the most expensive at 42. I put my money in fillers and Botox.

It might be worth it to note that for some people chemical sunscreens can actually cause hyper pigmentation. At least in my case, and with many other people I’ve talk to, oxybenzone ( and possibly some of the other chemical sunscreens) were the major factor in causing dark blotches on my skin. I know it’s totally tough to get so much information into a short video. I really appreciate the time and effort you’re taking and all of the great information! Thanks so much!
